They have a early-90's JRPG vibe that I rather like. I know I'll never build an army out of them, but I might use a set for RPGs and skirmish games. The Perry WoTR stuff is nice, and I love the Perrys for all things historical, but they really don't scale well with today's bulky fantasy figures.

I don't think anything concrete and offical. The kickstarter stuff is due by 2nd quarter this year (to those who kickstarted, but I'd assume it'd hit retail soon after). However, given the delays that accompany hard plastic items, I'd not be supprised to see them be 3rd quarter.

Thomas Thomas: Thing is though, Perrys and Fireforge will (or are) all ready out there, so there isn't much point for Mantic to just make a plain medieval human. They remind me of (or rather would fit in with) the good guys from the Heroes of Might and Magic V.
